Hi Markus,

These are great photos, and you've certainly taken the right approach bracketing. Blending a number of images is my standard technique for widefield totality shots.

I've had a go with your images you've posted here (very quickly, so it could probably be improved). I'd be happy to have a go with the full-res (or RAW) images if you like, alternatively I can send you a Photoshop file showing how I blended these ones, and you could apply it to the original images. I used each of the 4 images for a different component (1. inner corona; 2. outer corona; 3. extended outer corona & sky; and 4. wharf/ocean).

In fact, this is probably one my favourite images I have seen from this eclipse, and is definitely worthwhile taking the time to process it to its full potential.
